Argon (18 Ar) has 26 known isotopes, from 29 Ar to 54 Ar, of which three are stable (36 Ar, 38 Ar, and 40 Ar). On Earth, 40 Ar makes up 99.6% of natural argon. The longest-lived radioactive isotopes are 39 Ar with a half-life of 268 years, 42 Ar with a half-life of 32.9 years, and 37 Ar with a half-life of 35.04 days.
Ar contamination. Most of the argon in Earth's atmosphere was produced by electron capture of long-lived 40 K (40 K + e − → 40 Ar + ν) present in natural potassium within Earth. The 39 Ar activity in the atmosphere is maintained by cosmogenic production through the knockout reaction 40 Ar (n,2n) 39 Ar and similar reactions. The half-life of 39
Argon–argon (or 40 Ar/ 39 Ar) dating is a radiometric dating method invented to supersede potassium–argon (K/Ar) dating in accuracy. The older method required splitting samples into two for separate potassium and argon measurements, while the newer method requires only one rock fragment or mineral grain and uses a single measurement of argon isotopes.
Purified argon gas is the most commonly used inert gas due to its high natural abundance (78.3% N 2, 1% Ar in air) [3] and low relative cost. Unlike noble gases , an inert gas is not necessarily elemental and is often a compound gas.

The AR engine family is an Inline-4 piston engine series by Toyota, first introduced in 2008 for the RAV4, and subsequently for the Highlander, Venza, Camry and Scion tC. The AR series uses a die-cast aluminium engine block and aluminium DOHC cylinder head.
A krypton laser is an ion laser using ions of the noble gas krypton as its gain medium.The laser pumping is done by an electrical discharge.Krypton lasers are widely used in scientific research, and in commercial uses, when the krypton is mixed with argon, it creates a "white-light" lasers, useful for laser light shows.
The Austin 20-hp is a mid-sized car premium quality that was made by British manufacturer Austin and first displayed as a chassis in Paris in December 1912, [5] advertised in March 1913 [6] and shown to the public as a complete car at the Olympia Motor Show in November 1913. At that time both the 20 and the 30 were regarded as new models.
